    His style actually isn't too far off from Roys... he just has the speed of grass growing.

      Not many would dare to admit that. And those that would be doing it for the attention.

      Sincere and honest man, Carl Froch. I respect him a lot.

        I thought Roy's daddy was Ali...maybe I'm wrong...but how can you be a fan of Roy and not Ali and then use STYLE to justify it?!?

            Not a fan either. People overrate him because he was a draft dodger.

              But still recognized hes one of the greatest fighters..
              The thing is that Roy never did that until he faded and neither did Ali. I can respect that too. I just didn't like Ali because he was a naive ****** when it mattered the most. It is sad to me that he is more insightful now in his old age. He realizes now that all that garbage he was fed was exactly that. Garbage.

                When he talked about Alis style he talked about the laying on the ropes for the whole fight..

                    Same here. Can't fault him for not being fond of his style. We all know Froch likes to slug it out.

                    Actually, he does kind of. He's just not as fast as Roy was. Carl likes to leave his hands by his side rather than stand in the traditional stance. He's a cobra, ready to strike at any time.

                      That's true but you take away Roy's speed and you end up with a fighter half as good. Tbh it's amazing what Carl has been able to achieve with what he's been dealt.
